http://bit.ly/ztrain-listen
Just two words: What comes to
mind when you think about social
media listening and engaging?
The Red Cross Case Study:
Listening and Engaging Comes First


                   • First foray into social
                     media was a listening
                     project in 2006
                   • People were talking and
                     they needed to listen
                   • At first, felt like going to
                     war, but changed internal
                     perception of social media
Listen: Monitor, Compile, Distribute, Reflect




                    I took an American Red Cross class I
                    thought was less than satisfactory. […] The
                    local chapter director. called me to talk
                    about it honestly. They care about me and
                    they’re willing to go the extra mile. I am
                    now significantly more likely to take
                    another class than I was before.” - Blogger

Regular Time for Reflection
Are the topics of conversation changing?
Is the tone, sentiment, or volume changing?
Where are the most interesting conversations
taking place?
What does this mean for your strategy or
programs? How can you use the information to
improve what your are doing?
Is there great content (stories) that you can
repurpose elsewhere?

Editor's Notes

  1. http://www.flickr.com/photos/garibaldi/361920500/
  2. He discovered the secret of social media success: listening firstToyota coming out in support of the Hill-Terry bill that calls for substantially less aggressive fuel economy standards than the Senate bill that was passed last spring.
  3. http://www.flickr.com/photos/salondemaria/2947803924/You don’t need to necessarily carve out additional time for professional learning because you’re probably doing it already through other channels.  The challenge is adding it your routine. It is difficult because you have to shift gears from your Outlook calendar, answering emails, meetings, or getting tasks done.   It’s a shift from a getting things done sort of productivity to social productivity. Or rather it is finding your social productivity sweet spot.Ask yourself how time you can allocate to listening for professional learning.   Is it a half-hour a day, an hour a day, or is an hour or two a week? The point is to get started, block out that time, and start paying yourself.Think about your current routine.   When does it make sense to integrate something new?    I do my social media listening for professional learning before email and after I’ve created my 3 things I must do today list.  I do it in the morning.  I know other people who do it right after lunch.
